Uncertain Texas by Guy Clark Lyrics

The crickets are singin', the bluegills been bitin'
And the fireflies are flashin' with all of their might
And down on the river old Reagan went fishin'
He's layin' for a big one on a full moonlit night

We get high on the lake and then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there, but never did good

Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry
Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

We get high on the lake and then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there, but never did good

So give him his guitar and the long-legged girl
Moonlight in Texas and a six-pack of Pearl
